    I have been a client of Hearing & Audiology for about 10 years and in that time have purchased two sets of hearing aids from them. Mostly Gabe has attended to me but so too have Tina and Chantal on occasion. I have experienced only outstanding quality and professional service from all, including Julie at Reception. Gabe always goes the extra mile and his dedication and professionalism is unequivocally commended.
